Why do things always go wrong when Tony's out of town?

Tony has been in California (working...or at least he says he's working) since May 7 and won't be back until May 16.  While he's been gone the following things have happened to me and sweet baby Jacob:
-The air conditioner is broken.  Luckily, the weather hasn't been too hot but because it hasn't been hot, they can't fix it.  
-The power went out during the night and so then I couldn't sleep because I thought that I wouldn't wake up if Jacob did.  Of course, he didn't wake up but there was the possibility.
-Shannon Viner, our wonderful babysitter, was out of town making it hard for me to figure out daycare.  Luckily, my fantastic sister, Channdra, and Grandma Peterson have saved the day so that I can actually go to work.  I would have loved to stay home the whole time, but I also really need to get my research done so that I can eventually stay home.
-Jacob decided that sleep at night is optional.  Monday night our normally great sleeper woke up every two hours screaming.  I tried feeding him, rocking him, singing to him (that only made things worse), and finally just letting him sleep in the bed with me.  You know that as soon as Tony gets back Jacob will be a perfect sleeper again.
-Abby and Max decided that they don't need to sleep on their beds, but instead need to protect me from some unknown danger that is only around when Tony is not.  A few nights this week I have been awakened in the middle of the night to a low tone growl which is actually Max sleeping on the floor by my bed and having a growling dream.

Crazy stuff.  I will be so glad to have Tony Baloney back home!
